Trade Guru - Sarasota

Trade Guru is a used car dealership that specializes in new car trade-ins, mostly one- and two-owner vehicles bought from local luxury dealerships. The lot sells pre-owned cars from brands like Acura, Audi, Chevrolet, Honda, Lexus and Nissan, and offers financing, a vehicle finder service and cash appraisals for trade-ins. The owner, Josh Stacy, says the cars are priced using Kelley Blue Book and J.D. Power, and buyers are welcome to take a car to their own mechanic before buying.

Sales hours are Monday through Saturday, 10 AM to 6 PM, and Sunday visits are by appointment only. The business is at 5041 S. Tamiami Trail in Sarasota. The shop also has its own technicians for body, upholstery, tire and brake work, and the owner says buyers can call him directly about any problems after the sale.
